Sure enough, the Zhao family was also blocked by He's words, and he couldn't really find the patriarch to reason with him for such a thing, this New Year was ridiculed by others, and Erniu They also looked at the New Year, and they were busy persuading the Zhao family to go to the courtyard, and the two Qingshan brothers and sisters and Song Yuemei also went to pull the He family back, Song Yuemei also secretly said something in He's ear, Lin He saw it, but couldn't hear it clearly, it seems that this Song Yuemei is indeed not a simple character.

He walked into the courtyard, and didn't sit there anymore and ate melon seeds, and when he entered the kitchen, Zhao's face looked better, but the anger in his heart still didn't go down, thinking that this He family was really getting more and more excessive, and he always had to find a chance to clean her up.

On this day, the whole family had a meal in Zhao's courtyard, and they didn't know if it was lunch or dinner, so they went back, only Hongxia and Hongyun stayed in Zhao's courtyard to live. When Lin He's family returned home, it was almost dark, and the whole family was under the oil lamp, talking about Hongxia, and Huang said: "He'er, your father said that he wanted your sister-in-law to cook in the Changgong Courtyard, you look good, you also know that your sister-in-law was like that before, what if it will be the same as before in the future?" ”

Lin He smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, it's also our sister-in-law, seeing that my sister-in-law has also changed during this time, it must be no problem to cook, and besides, my sister-in-law is like this, our family also wants to pull a hand, do you really want to be like the eldest mother, send the sister-in-law to die." ”

"You kid, how do you speak, how do you arrange your aunt, be careful to let her hear it, make you look good." Huang also said with a smile.

"Mother, this is not a choreography. You see that the eldest lady is such a person, so I didn't talk nonsense. Lin He also said with a smile.

The family chatted a little and went to sleep. In the New Year's month, in addition to the first two days at home, there may be guests coming to the door every day in the back. Sure enough, early in the morning of the third day of the new year, Lin He hadn't gotten up yet, and he heard a very lively conversation at home, presumably a guest from the house.

Lin He got up and went out to have a look. It turned out that several cousins of his father came over, and one of them still brought his own woman, and that woman Lin He had met Dabao not long after he first came here. It was the somewhat mean woman that Dabao and Lin He met when they went to sell dried sweet potatoes once. When he was in the village, Lin He also saw it many times, but he generally didn't talk much. I only know that it is a cousin-in-law of my father.

However, in general, except for their parents, women will not follow men to relatives. This cousin didn't come last year, why did she come today, and this woman spoke as if she was currying favor with the Huang family, Lin He heard her say: "Brother and sister, you see that your family is having a prosperous life these days, what do you want, it is one of the best in our Lin family village, it really makes many people blush." ”

Talking. The eyes are still scurrying around the courtyard, and it is not safe to look at it. Huang has heard a lot of such words recently. When I first listened to it, I was a little happy, no matter whether others were pleasing or not, I was always happy to hear others say that my family had a good life, but then I was numb when I heard too much, and at most I laughed.

This cousin looked at Huang and didn't answer, so she continued: "Brother and sister, I heard that your family helped a merchant buy a lot of fields, and those fields should also require a lot of people to work, have you all invited the people in your family, if not, I want our men to come to you to do things, our men are diligent in their work, you know, this is one of the best in the village." ”

Lin He listened to Aunt Tang's words, and looked at several Tang uncles who were sitting and chatting with Erniu on the other side of the courtyard, there were three in total, one of them looked good, Zhou Zheng, who was long, was also tall, and when they talked together, they didn't talk much, they listened a lot, and they didn't interject nonsense, they looked very loyal and honest, and the other two were both thin and medium-sized, but they seemed to talk a lot, and one of them kept talking, and his mouth was open and closed, and the rest of the people listened to him. The other was on the side, although he didn't speak, but he was eating melon seeds and snacks on a plate in his hand, and his eyes were still looking around the yard.

Lin He knew that this man who was eating was the man from this cousin's family, and he didn't look like a person who was one of the best in doing things, and he was afraid that he was also a lazy bone. Huang heard this cousin say that the man in her family was going to do things, she also knew something about this cousin-in-law's family, this cousin-in-law's family is not a person who likes to do things, and the fields she tenants have not been planted well, and she said that she wants to come out to do things, but Huang will definitely not say it directly, just smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, my father invited our children to work a long time ago, I'm afraid I don't need anyone." ”

When the cousin heard Huang say this, she smiled and said: "Brother and sister, look at you, you have more than 100 acres of fertile land, it doesn't matter if you invite more people, besides, the men in our family are their own people, and they must be more dedicated than others to do their work, right?" Maybe I can help you take care of things, don't you need someone else if your own family doesn't need it? ”

Huang was a little dizzy by this cousin-in-law's left sentence and right sentence of his own person, and he didn't know what to say, but he really didn't care about this matter of inviting people, and it was not easy to reply, so he couldn't just say: "But this matter is done by the child's father, I usually don't care about this, and my sister-in-law's family also rents a lot of fields, it's very hard to come here to be a long-term worker, and you have to do things in your own family." ”

"How much can you earn in a year by renting a field and planting, and even a year's food for your own family is not enough, how can you come to do long-term work, but there are eight taels of silver a year." This aunt didn't pay attention, so she said what she thought, and her face was suddenly a little embarrassed.

However, this person's reaction was relatively fast, and he quickly adjusted his state, and said: "I have long wanted to come over and tell my younger siblings, but I thought that your family is building a house and going to celebrate the New Year, and it is also busy, so it has been delayed until today, I think my younger siblings will definitely not refuse." ”

At this time, the Huang family really didn't know how to refuse, but smiled awkwardly, and didn't continue, thinking that it would be better to let Erniu be the master, and he couldn't be the master. Lin He saw that his mother seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so he walked over and greeted this cousin, who looked at Lin He and praised him again.

Lin He didn't know that he still had so many advantages, this aunt was another superb relative after the eldest mother He, and she could see so many of her advantages at a glance, but no matter how good Lin He said, he couldn't solve this problem, so he just sat on the side and left.

At noon, several cousins were eating at Lin He's house, at the dinner table, the cousin and aunt talked to Erniu about this matter again, Erniu did not agree and did not refuse immediately, but said that this long-term worker was also invited, if you want to add one, you can't call the shots, you have to ask the merchant who bought the land, and then the sister-in-law did not get a definite answer, a little disappointed, but fortunately, Erniu did not refuse, and the sister-in-law said to wait for the news of Erniu.
